The oldest recorded English joke dates back to the 10th century and can be found in a collection of Anglo-Saxon poetry known as "The Exeter Book." It reads: "What hangs at a man's thigh and wants to poke the hole that it's often poked before? Answer: A key." This riddle highlights the playful nature of language and humor in early English literature, showcasing how even centuries ago, wordplay and innuendo were popular forms of comedy.
